The amount of people that don't read instructions is ridiculous. They exist for a reason. I always read every manual for everything. Every car I've had, I read the manual front to back. My turtle's new fancy water filter, read it front to back. Furniture, tech, anything, you name it. I guess I'M the outlier so I must be the weird one.

I've literally had to write documentation at work for a single step procedure for help desk. It consisted of me screenshotting something, circling a button in red with a red arrow pointing to it because our help desk people are incompetent.

Dude, ages ago when I did tech support. A simple question like: "are the lights on your modem on?" was met with a yes. Then after an hour of troubleshooting you find out, in fact, no they weren't on the entire time and the modem was unplugged. Like, you lied, you never even checked. The real questions then become: why was the modem unplugged? Who unplugged it? What reason does one have for unplugging their modem?

Pretty sure my 2017 shield still runs 7 or 9 I can't remember.

In my search for artists like the Beastie Boys I came across Joey Valence & Brae and I'm loving their music.

I'm really surprised that someone actually had the balls to make the first well type game. On top of that, they even made it so that it was like Halo 2 meets Halo 3. Well done.

I currently run 2 of these xeon CPUs in my server. When I specced it out I was looking at about $300/year of energy usage and that was running at like 50% capacity daily. The thing has half the cores disabled because I currently don't need that much compute and the only thing running on it daily is TrueNAS. It has ran multiple game servers and labs in the past few months and still doesn't use that much compute. Really just depends what you're doing with it.

This was my first thought. Why is Vangaurd interested in what games I play and how are they doing this when I don't think they have anything to install on my PC?

My comment was more so questioning the "not really a big deal" part. I apologize that I didn't make that apparent.
